1. In Viveka Choodamani also, the disciple asks the Guru: O Guro!After this enquiry, I find nothing, everything is Void? Then the Guru asks: Who is telling that there is nothing and there is onlyVoid? So still there is some traces of ego, to call it Void. Look into it and pursue your goal. Then, the disciple keeps quiet and experiencesthe Being-Awareness-Bliss. No more questions. No more doubts.No further explanation needed.

2. In a hall where he was having a Satsangh, suddenly lightswent off. After some time, people started leaving one by one,because the mike was not functioning. Then, the lights came on.Brahmasri Nochur Venkataraman then asked: Some people hadleft during darkness, because they could not listen to the Satsangh.But some you stayed back. In that utter darkness, though youcould not hear ,me or see the people leaving, were you aware of Yourselves? The audience said : Yes, Even in darkness we wereaware of ourselves. What is that gave them awareness? Is itoutside light? No. It is the Light within. The Light of Atma, I amI am, that is Light Itself.

3. In another class room, where he was addressing the youngboys and girls in Palakkad, suddenly there were rains. To avoidrain water, the doors and windows were closed. Then the lights toowent off. The class remained quiet. The children did not move.Brahmasri Nochur Venkataraman asked them: How do you allknow that you are, even in darkness, even when the windows anddoors of the classroom closed? One boy stood up and said: Uncle,Because I am aware of myself!

The Atma is the light of the light.
